NOW, NOW, BATMAN--SHUTTING YOURSELF DOWN IS NO WAY TO PLAY OUR LITTLE GAME. I EXPECTED MORE OF YOU. AND I'M FRANKLY A BIT DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT WHO I AM BY NOW. TRUE, YOU DO HAVE A LOT OF PLAYMATES--BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS YOUR FAVORITE!
YOU MUST ADMIT THE GAME HAS CHANGED A GREAT DEAL SINCE WE FIRST STARTED PLAYING LONG AGO. TAKE YOUR NEW PARTNER--NO, WAIT, I ALREADY HAVE. BUT YOU'LL FIND OUT MUCH MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.
MEANWHILE, I CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE AND MORE ABOUT you, OLD FRIEND. THINGS THAT WOULD CURL THE STRAIGHT BROWN HAIR UNDERNEATH THAT MASK OF YOURS.
TIME TO PUT YOUR DETECTIVE CAP BACK ON. HAPPY HUNTING.
